The former Oasis guitarist will perform on the Main Stage on Sunday June 24, the final day of the festival, as the special guest of that day’s headline act Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

Other acts who have been confirmed for the three day event include rockers Biffy Clyro , who will perform on June 23, and Elbow, who will take to the Main Stage on the opening night of the festival on June 22.

The Vaccines, Noah and The Whale, Example and Madness will also perform at the festival – although headline acts for the first two days have yet to be confirmed.

Festival organiser John Giddings recently said he was hoping to secure an ‘American trilogy’ of headline performers.

He also promised the event would feature ‘more dance and urban acts than ever before’.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds topped the album chart earlier this year with their self-titled debut.

The band’s new single If I Had A Gun is released on December 26, and they are due to play a string of dates across the UK in February and early March.
